 Review of Soarin @ EPCOT
-1 Rating Posted by: jaredliu on 3/10/2006 2:54:00 AM
I think soarin is overrated. Its a pretty simple ride that gives me not much different from a IMAX movie+moving chair. The content of film is bad (in terms of catching the nature beauty) and the quality(resoultion) of the film is wrose. It is not a bad ride if there is no line at all. But if you expect to ride Soarin at Epcot you better get a fastpass as soon as you possibly can or prepare to wait 2 hours to have a 4 minute ride. Even though I am not perticular fan of this ride, I do have some tips for you. While lots of people would like to chose B1 section (section B row number 1) to get the best overall experience, I have different feeling. I think the best experience is either the first person of C1 section which will be the very right coner of the first row, or the last person of A1 section which, is the very left end of the first row. A1 and C1 section is the sections go the furtherst towards the screen that you wont see any other passengers beside you casue you are "above" and "in front" of the rest of them. if you are at B1 section, you could possibley end up seeing a people asdie you from your left and right side casue you are a little behind them. This is especailly obvious when you sit at the right or the left corner of the B1 section. For me that ruins a lot of the total experience. By seating in the two corner of the first row, it gives you some free space casue there is no person in your one side, plus there is no any section in front of you. Maybe you are not in the center of the screen but I found little distraction of that problem. So next time try the the two corner spot of the first row in either the first person of C1, or the last person of A1. I think A1 is the best becasue when you are the last person of the line and you got lucky, there is a good chance that your might end up being no one in your right side (empty seat), and your left is of course empty since your are the last one. That is because Soarin has no single rider line yet, so maybe there is no single rider to fill that spot and you will have lots of space on your own. The two times that I went to sorain, I always got pretty isolated that there was no one on my either side. That really enchanced the experience for me.
